About Us.
From formulation development to clinical manufacturing and commercial supply. Expertise across oral, nasal, pulmonary and parenteral dosage forms.
WHY UPPERTON
Built for molecules that demand more.
Upperton is a UK-based contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) helping pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies transform promising drug candidates into successful medicines.
Every decision made during development influences what happens next. Yet many drug development programmes are fragmented across multiple organisations, sites and teams. Knowledge is transferred, context is lost, and progress slows.
WHY UPPERTON
We keep your molecule moving forward.
By bringing development, analytical services, manufacturing, quality and
regulatory expertise together on a single site in Nottingham, we keep
knowledge where it belongs: with the people who generated it.
Decisions remain informed by a complete understanding of the molecule,
the process and the objectives behind it.
The result is faster decision-making, fewer delays and greater
confidence as your programme progresses towards clinical milestones.
WHY UPPERTON
One site. Built for scale and continuity.
Managing multiple development and manufacturing partners introduces risk, delays and unnecessary complexity.
At Upperton, formulation, analytical development, GMP manufacturing and quality functions are integrated within a single facility in Nottingham, UK. This allows programmes to progress more efficiently, with greater collaboration between teams and fewer operational barriers as development advances.
One site means greater visibility, improved continuity and a smoother pathway from development through to manufacture.

FROM FEASIBILITY TO COMMERCIAL READINESS
A partner for every stage of development
We work with innovators around the world to overcome formulation, analytical and manufacturing challenges across a broad range of drug modalities and dosage forms. Whether supporting a first-in-human study, scaling up a manufacturing process or preparing for commercial launch, our multidisciplinary teams deliver tailored solutions aligned to each programme’s unique requirements. By bringing these capabilities together under one roof, we help reduce complexity, improve communication and create smoother pathways to clinic and commercialisation.
